Please stop with this Reverend Wright. There are issues more important to our country such as 1) flight of capital taking jobs overseas 2) lack of revenue generation due to corporate tax loop holes 3) privatization of many of the functions of the army 4) big corporations lobbying our government for war to increase their profits at the expense of the tax payer 5) dearth of valuable information in the media to help us citizens make informed judgment ......

If Senator Obama is so interested in changing the national political debate he should also consider what his Reverends sermons did to the parishioners who SOAKED UP THIS VENOM!

Rev. Wright is a dead issue can we move on. everyone have formed their own opinion. I am hoping Dems will move in a more united direction and let the Republicans do the criticism and dirty work of tearing them up.

Obama was so offended he donated about $25,000 to the church. Al Shaprton and his latestlynch mob of 92% Obama suporters would feel right at home with Wright.

Obama is a racist. You can judge the character of a man by the company he keeps. If the American people want a husband and wife in their capitol, to welcome dignitaries of other countries, think what that says about our citizens when they see what sort of message they and their children spew from their mouths. Who will he surround himself with when he gets in the White House? Evidently he is more influenced with the black half of himself than the white half.

Obama is not responsible for every word that comes out of someone else's mouth just like none of us is responsible for every word that comes out of anyone's mouth.

I am responsible for me and me alone. I have no control over anyone else including my children when they are not in my sight. Can all of you say that your kids have always done as you would have them do?

To each their own...

The media knows that they made a big mistake after listening to the whol;e sermon

The truth has already been told by time. You just overlooked it!

The next president, like all presidents, will be defined by some unforeseen event. How that president reacts depends on his beliefs and personal motives.

Who would respond best to an unforeseen catastrophe?

Guilt by association is still very much alive in our country. Those whose real antipathy to Obama because of his race justify their bigotry by manufacturing vitriolic innuendo based on half truths and statements taken out of context by someone he associates with just as during the McCarthy era. They should be ashamed to dwell on the trite when our country is so troubled by the economy, war, lack of good jobs, education and, yes, bigotry and racism. Lost in shallow attempts to assassinate character are the discussions on the candidates agenda to address our real problems so we can learn how he intends to recover from the disastrous mess the Republicans have got us into into the last 7 years.

It is really amazing how easily the media accepts this man's lying. I am very sure if it was any other candidate it would of been unacceptable and big news.

I am so sick and tired of Obama with his I was not there, I did not hear anything, ok I heard some, now going on FOX and trying to explain what he heard.

The fact is he is twisting the truth over and over right in front of the eyes of the public and no one is calling him out on this, we are all listening to this nonsense over and over, each day with a new twist as to what he heard.

People who are truly interested in understanding Reverend Wright's church and his ministry will listen to the interview by Bill Moyers.

It is not unpatriotic to question the government, nor is it racist to speak out against racism.

Many people will use this issue as a reason for not supporting Senator Obama, and this is, of course, their choice.

There will be other voters who choose not to support Senator Clinton's bid for the nomination because of the $800,000 that she and her husband received in support of the trade deal with Columbia.

Perhaps the press can begin to report on the issues: jobs, the economy, health care, the war in Iraq, etc. and try to avoid this trend of character assassination through association.

Wright did not question the government, he trashed the country! Can't you see the difference?

Our country has made tremendous strides since the Civil War and since the 1960s Civil Rights struggles. In a recent poll (see the Smithsonian May edition) among juniors and seniors from all 50 states, an open ended poll of the ten most famous Americans had THREE African Americans in the top THREE and four in the top ten. Number one was Martin Luther King, Jr. The remaining three were women, number two being Rosa Parks. When the same poll was given to adults, the only changes made were among white famous Americans while blacks remained the same. Our days of bigotry are ending; so should inflammatory speeches.

The words of Wright that he preaches is to uplift his community. We from afar listen to these words and we don't get that warm fuzzy feeling. The last couple of weeks, Chicago has been under siege with gang violence and murders. Do you think this a reflection of just what Wright beleives in? His words do make a difference and it shows in his community. Chicago needs better role models, and it isn't Wright or some of his followers. Obama needs to go home and clean up his community, if he, god forbids, becomes president, he will abandon his community. There will be NO CHANGE! Obama is not electable.

When the U.S. Ambassador made the statement on Fox News, before Rev. Wright did, did all the people in the studio get up and leave, and did you all change the channel?

I am sick about hearing about Obama's church - thousands of Catholics filled stadiums to hear their religious leader even after they knew that priests molested thousands of children. The pews of Evangelical churches are filled with worshipers even after Hagee said the destructions of New Orleans was because of gays. The Republican party has embraced these racist and homophobic ministers for over 20 years, they have considered these ministers the party's spiritual advisor.
Clinton is no saint - read Tom Hayden's opinion piece in the NEw Republic. In the 60's she worked for a law firm that had communists and defended the Black Planthers. FOLKS - wake up!

I don't care where you worship, or even who you are going to vote for - PLEASE let's talk about $3.60 gas, shortage of food, the recession, and of the Iraq war.

One question to Obama supporters.

What was were the people in Wrgiht's church doing when he was making these comments?

shaking their head and saying no. no.
or cheering, whooping and hollering agreeing with the hate and racist statement?

I am going to reject Barack Obama. I am not only dennouncing him. Rev. is not helping Barack Obama at all. He should be hidden in the darkness like Michele Obama. They are not the type who are going to apologize to the american people, therefore it is everything to loose and nothing to gain. Both of them are doing harm. Enough said.

Obama and Michelle embraced every word and thought of Wright. He preached a lot of anti-white, anti-American sermons. Michelle has repeatedly used remarks and actions which shows how deep she believes in them but the media doesn't bring it up (only Clinton's).

If Wright's words were never revealed, Obama would still use Wright as his guiding force.

The media admitted having knowledge of this but chose to ignore it. What is this telling us??

BE SMART AND DON'T FLOCK TO THE LIGHT OF OBAMA.
